The city does not plan at this time to communicate on alternate platforms that have been established as alternatives to X. 

Sad

    I would be fine with public agencies just publishing an RSS feed and newsletter. Communities can pull those posts in and discuss them, but it hasnt been a great use of civil servants jobs to manage social media platforms.

    yea, part of me feels since they aren't planning to take up communication on another platform, that this was less about the hostility on the platform and more they didn't want to have to pay for the upkeep/social media team/processes to remain on the platform, and are using the hostilities as an excuse.
